PHILOSOPHY:

Modern nursing is a dynamic, therapeutic and educative process in meeting the health needs of the individuals, the family and the community. Nursing is one of the health professionals which functions in conjunction with other health care agencies in assisting individuals, families and communities to achieve and maintain desirable standards of health.

Indian Nursing Council believes in the concept of health as laid-down by the World Health Organization (WHO) i.e., “Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.

Since nurses provided and will undoubtedly continue to provide a large part of health care, their training should of equip them with professional expertise to meet the changing demands of society and their expanding role their-in. To achieve this, emphasis must be laid to impart the knowledge and skills most relevant to the health care needs of the community and the country as a whole. This must also be accompanied by a corresponding change in professional attitudes.

The International council of Nurses states that the unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform un-aided if he had ht e necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible.

Indian Nursing Council recognised that basic nursing education is formally recognized programme of study to providing a broad and sound foundation in the behavioural life and nursing sciences for the general practice of nursing for a leadership role and for the post basic education in specialities for advanced nursing practice. The council believes that this basic course in nursing should prepare nurses for occupying first level positions in nursing in all kinds of health care settings. The council recognises that nursing is a profession which is influenced by advances in science and technology. It believes that skills in all aspects of communication are also essential for learning and practice of nursing.

The council also recognises that the nature of nursing is such that a substantial portion of learning of the students is acquired in the clinical fields of practice. It further recognises that interdependence of or nursing and allied professions and occupations in promoting, maintaining and restoring health and prevention of diseases.

The council believes that it has a responsibility in helping the students to develop pride in their profession besides keeping them abreast with current knowledge and professional trends for a successful career ahead.
